incidentgrammar

/ˈɪnsɪdəntˌɡræmə/nounVerified New

The fixed official grammar by which violence and coercion are rendered as impersonal "incidents."

Things occurred; measures were taken; regret is expressed. Nobody did anything, in the active voice, ever.

Etym. — incident + grammar. Five syllables; the euphemism lives in syntax more than vocabulary, so the word names the syntax.

Rel. — euphemarchy
